DSS & Front Hitch?

Do any of you have the DSS & a front hitch? I am wondering if there are any fit issues with having both.

I plan on getting a front hitch at some point so I did quite a bit of research. I found that on my truck a lot of guys are using the drawtite hitch with the DSS with no problems. Some said they had to make a small notch in the front plastic valance for the receiver to clear. Drawtite is what I plan on using.

I have the Curt front hitch and am getting the PSC steering stabilizer today. Looking at a lot of pictures I don't think there will be any issues. The front hitch sits pretty far in front of the stabilizer bar (like a foot) and there's plenty of room there. The Curt hitch sits down a little farther than the DrawTite. At first I didn't like that, but I mounted 4 Northern Tool 55W lights on top of the hitch and they look pretty cool and are protected from damage there. My truck doesn't have the lower valence/air dam so cutting that wasn't a problem I bet the Curt wouldn't need the valence cut at all since it sits down about 2 inches from the bottom of the actual bumper.

After putting on the PSC brace I have about 2+" of space between it and the front hitch....
